Amodei says AI writes much of Anthropic's code and geniuses arrive by 2027

In The Adolescence of Technology, Dario Amodei writes that AI now writes much of the code at Anthropic, that his country of geniuses may materialize by 2027, and that on alignment he wishes he had the aliens’ answer to guide him. It moves the Anthropic line of the storyline from Jack Clark’s components of AI research seventeen days earlier to a chief executive’s own estimate of how much of the company’s code the models write, with the 200 pull requests a week reported by Claude Code’s creator as the anecdotal precursor. Twelve days later the figure hardens into effectively 100% of product code.
